This has the benefit of allowing filesystems to optimize away a lot metadata updates, down to around 1 per jiffy, even when a file is under heavy writes. Unfortunately, this has always been an issue when we're exporting via NFSv3, which relies on timestamps to validate caches. Even with NFSv4, a lot of exported filesystems don't properly support a change attribute and are subject to the same problems with timestamp granularity. Other applications have similar issues (e.g backup applications). Switching to always using fine-grained timestamps would improve the situation, but that becomes rather expensive, as the underlying filesystem will have to log a lot more metadata updates. What we need is a way to only use fine-grained timestamps when they are being actively queried. The kernel always stores normalized ctime values, so only the first 30 bits of the tv_nsec field are ever used. Whenever the mtime changes, the ctime must also change. Use the 31st bit of the ctime tv_nsec field to indicate that something has queried the inode for the i_mtime or i_ctime. When this flag is set, on the next timestamp update, the kernel can fetch a fine-grained timestamp instead of the usual coarse-grained one. This patch adds the infrastructure this scheme. Filesytems can opt into it by setting the FS_MULTIGRAIN_TS flag in the fstype. Later patches will convert individual filesystems over to use it.
